DAYTONA.

Correspondence of the Pdlatka Neus.
DAyTosA, May 20.
We had refreshing rain, and now the
weather is delightful.
The Day iona Dramatic and Literary
Association gave another of their choice
entertainments at Anderson's Hall.
Many Of our winter or Northern Wis
itors are leaving US, yet the streets are
as lively as ever. The visitors from the
interior are coming to spend the summer
on the coast. They will not regret their
visit, after enjoying the bathing or fish
ing, besides the other good things found
in a city.
One Of our truckers has shipped over
forty bar rels of cabbages, and another
has gathered over nine bushels Of very
nice Irish potatoes from small patch.
Hehas just begun digging them.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Mr.. Pope. of Mankato, introduced Joint
memorial to the senators and representa-
tives OF Minnesota in congress asking their
support OF the Reagan-Cullom interstate
commerce bill, as preventing unjust dis
examinations by railroad companies. The
memorial urges that provision
be incorporated into the bill making it
unlawful for railroads to charge higher
rate per ion per mile for longer than for a
shorter continuous haul. Mr.. Pope eX-
planned that there was an effort to get the
bill through the senate before congress adj
journed. and it was desirable to have the
state legislature act upon it at once. Upon
his suggestion it passed unanimously under
suspension of rules. About three-quarters
OF an hour after there was q motion made to
adjourn. when the clerk of the house was
announced. He informed the senate of the
passage by the house of the Donnelly joint
memorial. There was pause in the senate
for few moments; then a motion to adj
journ was repeated, and when the senate
adjourned Senators Pope and Edwards saw
that good opportunity for the concurrence
i'll the joint resolution for the support of the
interstate commerce bill had been lost
They had done their best to get the senate
resolution through, and supposed it had
gone before the house. but its progress had
been retarded, as it had to be engrossed.
When the passage Of the house resolution
was announced, nobody seemed to know
what to do.

A Cavalry ChanEe.
"
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Jan. lit is stated
here that the Eighth cavalry, now in Texas,
will exchange places III the spring with the
Seventh cavalry, in Dakota. The Eighth
cavalry has been serving in Texas about
eleven years. Nine years previous to their
coming to Texas they served in Idaho. Ore
gon. Nevada. California, Arizona and New
Mexico. Ali of their transfers were made
by marches. If this change of the Eighth
with the Seventh is really intended, there
will be to record a regiment moving from
the most southern limits of the United
States to the most northern. The distance
due north is some 1000 miles. or. in other
words, from between 2S and 800 of lati-
tude to between 39o and 40 of latitude.
S uch move would strain the resources OF
many officers in finding means to move
their families and household goods, and on
reaching Dakota they will not find for
some time their expenses abated, for there
many families will require other clothing
than such as they wear in the semi-tropical
country along the Rio Grande.

Malmross over to France in order to make

Malmross' record at Leith has been a

turned. Cognac was last winter made
